System and methods for distributed analysis of patient records

摘要

A system and associated methods provide healthcare entities with distributed analysis capabilities for records of a patient population. The analysis seeks to find matches between a piece of clinical knowledge introduced to a healthcare entity and data contained in the patient population records. According to one method, a service generates executable code based on the piece of clinical knowledge. Through a communication with the service, the healthcare entity makes a determination as to what extent the clinical knowledge has relevance to a patient population of the healthcare entity. Based on this determination, the healthcare entity downloads at least a portion of the executable code. Then, the records of the patient population may be analyzed by the executable code to register matches of the clinical knowledge with data contained within the records. System activity may then be initiated based on the matches registered.

主权项

1. One or more non-transitory computer storage media embodying computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method of queuing tasks for a portion of a patient population of a healthcare entity, the method comprising:
receiving an informational publication from a third-party publishing service; analyzing the informational publication for a relevant piece of clinical information, the relevant piece of clinical information comprising a notification of a change in at least a first medication covered by an insurance company; extracting the relevant piece of clinical information from the informational publication; transforming the relevant piece of clinical information into executable code; distributing a link to the executable code to the healthcare entity, wherein selection of the link by the healthcare entity initiates execution of the executable code against a set of structured electronic patient records of the patient population of the healthcare entity to register matches of the relevant piece of clinical information with data contained in the set of structured electronic patient records, wherein the matches correspond to the portion of the patient population; based on the registered matches, queuing an alert for each patient in the portion of the patient population, wherein the alert is initiated when the each patient requests a renewal of the first medication; and based on the registered matches, automatically notifying one or more clinicians associated with the healthcare entity of the change in the at least the first medication covered by the insurance company.
